- Wear a helmet
- Obey posted traffic signs; lights, stop signs, directional arrows, etc.
- Arrive early and be ready to leave at the ride time. Wheels roll at ride time specified.
- Don’t bike off more than you can chew.
- If all the other riders are wearing Team Sky Pro Cycling kits and riding Pinarello Dogmas, ask about an alternate ride or an easy to remember loop you can do several times on your own.
- If you choose to ride with Team Sky, don’t post nasty comments on the Facebook page when you get dropped. Alternatively, if you win the town line sprint, don’t rub it in.
- Do your best to maintain the pace of the ride. Don’t slow it down and don’t blow it up.
- If you feel yourself dropping off the pace, say something to another rider.
- Bring your own tubes, patch kit, pump or CO2 cartridge.
- Carry identification and/or have an ICE (In Case of Emergency) number in your phone.
- Bring money for coffee.
- Point out road hazards that could be dangerous to others in the group.
- Don’t point at manhole covers unless they are in the apex of a turn and it is raining.
- Riders should use common sense and courtesy!
